Wild Ride (A Dyamonde Daniel Book, Book #6)

Readers are welcomed back to the world of Dyamonde Daniel in a big way with the sixth installment in the series, Wild Ride: A Dyamonde Daniel Book. Dyamonde Daniel wants only one thing for Christmas - a sewing machine to make her own clothes instead of sprucing up used thrift store items. Instead, a shiny red bike sits next to the Christmas tree. As Dyamonde offers excuses to not ride the bike, her mother grows suspicious, and her friends get annoyed. Nobody understands why Dyamonde is being so secretive. Will she ever be able to come clean and conquer her fear? As in previous titles in the series, Dyamonde learns valuable lessons from experiences with classmates and friends in school and her community and often seeks the advice of her mother in many of these situations. Award-winning author Nikki Grimes once again guides the reader through Dyamonde's life experiences, providing a timely message about appreciation and gratitude.
